You don't draft just to fill out your roster. Not in the 1st round anyway. btw we have the bodies at safety. We just don't have the talent. Same with DE. CB we don't have the numbers, but I don't hate Scan, Brown, and Carroll as the starters. Just need depth. That's not what the 1st round is for though.
Heath has flashed just as much as Irving. Irving's flashes were more noticeable though because he plays a more....... premium position. Which brings us back to DE.

You MKnight are both completely ignoring my entire argument and turning it into something its not.

If its the 4th best DE and the 4th best DB and they both have starting potential - take the DE.

But if its (highly likely) the 6th best DE, that has a 2nd round grade.
VS
The 3rd best DB that has a 1st round grade.

The choice is easy. Looking at the mocks the only guys falling to us at DE are not going to be 'stud pass rushers'. But there looks to be a high likelihood that a quality starting DB will be there.

So if you are asking me rather I would prefer a LCB who looks to fit the bill for the next 5 years... or a rotational DE that 'MIGHT' be better than DLaw... I know where I am going.

This is exactly my point. . . Gotta be swayed towards BPA, when the roster allows. In the scenario you describe, BPA is the way to go, and it is not likely that player will be a pass-rusher at 28.

Watt IMO is worth it, because he can play standing up at SLB, and rotate to the line on passing downs (Reddick would be awesome here, but will be gone). Therefore, you aren't just getting a backup rotational guy, you are getting starter snap count contributions.

Again, Barnett is a wildcard. . . I don't know what to make of him. . . But, Takk, Harris, even Taco are not worth 28. At that point just wait till 60 and grab a pass-rusher._________________Go Cowboys!

Dallas Cowboys had more sacks than anyone, the last 6 games of the season.

I know many will try to minimize this fact by saying "Look at who we played, its just a snap shot, last game doesn't matter etc. . ."

Whatever, the fact remains we have an extremely young D-Line that was OBVIOUSLY improving with every game.

IMO if Irving has put in work this off-season (assume he is doing things to progress) than all the evidence points to him being much improved from last year.

My prediction is that Irving and Collins are our best D-Linemen this year.

My prediction is a retort to those who claim Irving is garbage, because that IS what you are saying if you claim all of those rookies "Jonathan Allen, Solomon Thomas, Derek Barnett, Taco Charlton, TJ Watt, Charles Harris, Takkarist McKinley, Jordan Willis, & Tyus Bowser are all likely upgrades over Irving. And I was generous and left out Malik McDowell and Haasan Reddick"
Are all "likely" better prospects heading into this year. . . One side of this argument will be eating crow, and we should re-visit this debate _________________Go Cowboys!
